40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
41. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto ·God in the heavens.
42. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43. Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.
44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.
45. Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46. All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
